Where Flann saves you time in Thanks.io
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Thanks.io is connected.
Trackable links for every campaign
Today
Every flyer, post and email needs its own short link so you can tell which one worked. Making and naming them in Thanks.io is fiddly, and the names are never consistent.
With Flann
“Make short links in Thanks.io for the menu page, one each for Instagram, flyer and email.”
For each channel, Flann prepares a short link in Thanks.io with a clear name and the right tracking tags, and shows you the list. A small job, done properly.
What you stop doing: Nobody has to remember the tracking tags or the naming rules.
Refreshing the welcome sequence
Today
The welcome emails in Thanks.io were written when you opened, and they still mention a product you stopped selling. Nobody has looked at them since.
With Flann
“Read my welcome emails in Thanks.io and tell me what is out of date.”
Reading each step of the sequence in Thanks.io, Flann flags old prices, retired products, broken links and anything that no longer sounds like you. It proposes rewritten versions side by side with the originals.
What you stop doing: New subscribers stop meeting the business you used to be.
